Searched Heart
1 Chronicles 28:9
"And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.
This is a thought to give some pause. The Lord searches every heart and understands every motive--behind the thoughts. Even what I think I'm thinking, God knows what's behind it. Yet that's a wonderful thought, too. No need to try so hard. It's the total opposite of what I experienced growing up. Everything had to appear just so. Little interest was devoted to my heart or my motives.
With God, that is all. If I seek Him, He will let Himself be found. He knows every unworthy and half-baked idea I have, behind the nice ones.
Thank You! Thank You for looking at the real me and still loving! Give me that wholehearted devotion and that willing mind. It's more than I can do on my own.
